MAKE IT: Garam Marsala

Garam Marsala is a traditional spice blend used in North Indian and South Asian dishes. It has a beautiful, earthy smell with a savoy, zingy flavor.

Finding Garam Marsala is not easy but, blending it yourself is. Traditionally thus blend contains cardamom and saffron. I find these ingredients a little too pricy for the frequency in which I use them. So over the years I have tinkered with my blend and have finally found one both cost and flavor friendly.
